We have moved!

Although it happened a week ago it is finally official, our house on Elizabeth Street is sold and we are out of it. The moving day was sooo stressful that to even relay how horrible it was makes my stomach turn! But it is all over now and for that I am extremely grateful. I did take a couple pictures of the highlights of the 12 plus hour day. Patrick, Evan, and Josh helped us out for part of the day, the first half of the day someone in my ward watched Patrick and Evan but at one point, although she was still willing to continue to watch him, Patrick was crying so inconsolably that I had to come and get him and Evan, he only does well for a very few people.

So here is a picture of Patrick getting into the motor oil in the garage and rubbing it on his whole body.
Here is Patrick taking a bath in the kitchen sink. Most everything was in boxes at this point, fortunately we had not packed up the dish soap yet. Then the one towel left was used to dry him off and the the counter.
Evan helping and hindering the packing of the truck. Patrick and Evan loved the ramp a little too much. It would have been fine if we weren't tying to load it all up. But at least he looks cute here.
Patrick in the dirt, again!

Around seven o'clock the three kids were crying so much that I had to take them to where we were staying and put them to bed. But two hours later Trevor and Nate still weren't done so I woke up the kids and we drove over to finish helping the guys. So around midnight we were finially done and getting ready for bed. All in all the best part about that day is that it is OVER!! Well and I did get to make sometime for some cute pictures that one day I will laugh at...just give me some time.

Moving is never a laughing matter, even when you look back at it a long time from now. Believe me, I know -- I've moved 8 times in the last five years (embarrassing, I know). So, my friend, my advice to you is this: try and push this traumatic experience back into the deepest recesses of your brain, never to think about it again, for it will only give you sorrow. Getting in a car crash and being able to look back and laugh years later? Maybe. Laughing at something as traumatic as a move? Never.

p.s. I totally wish I was there to help -- my muscles could have helped you out a lot.
